co-op MULTIPLAYER

[Mad Manx]

I would love to have a mode where you strip a HUGE ship with a team mate or 2.

[ComradeSnarky]

Seconded.

From the FAQ: "One feature we have planned is something we are calling “Daily Ship” which allows players to compete asynchronously on a global leaderboard for the highest score dismantling the same ship."

The way it sounds this is the closest we will get to multiplayer, basically a fixed ship design and a leaderboard for whoever breaks a ship down the fastest or with some higher score likely based on how many parts were wasted/broken. I don't like leaderboards, if anyone remembers CreeperWorld 3 was infested with impossibly short times from cheaters on the hi-score board for each level.

They have also said they are interested in having coop, but as it would take months of work just to determine if it is possible it will be very far down the line if at all

Multiplayer would be great but the amount of work it would take, isn't worth it IMO; at the moment they could prioritise on adding more content and quality of life features. I'd rather they waited until the end of their early access period before attempting to implement multiplayer.

i don't see much value of making this game coop. unless that add element that make some parts have to be move or manipulate by 2 people at the same time.

finishing the game and adding more ships and content is way more important than coop right now IMO.

i don't mind they add Coop as DLC later but hell not now.

I can EASILY see tge fun in breaking a ship with a friend, and all the workplace "accidents" that could happen, sorry you don't have much of an imagination.

Can we please make 1000 more post asking the same thing.

[Starskimmer]

just to be specific I would Love a small party multiplayer, just 1-4 players in the same bay, working simultaneously on the same ship. Joining can be simplified through steam friends, and speaking as an Indi game dev most of the headache of multiplayer conversion is WAY easier early on. I know it would be a lot of work, but please think about it.

I agree, main concepts of the game are a primary before co-op, but I would really enjoy.

Maybe I'd feel like less of a puzzle I head into by myself and more of a job done by me and a friend/coworker.

This is the only leaving me on edge as to buy or not. Everything looks fantastic, and I might need to check some more gameplay to see if I'd be worth hoping for.

I can't quote where at the moment, but the devs stated that this is a wish list item. They plan to make the best single player experience they can, but then later revisit the subject. No promises due to the way the game works and handles synchronization.

They want to, but it is not a priority item.

I am concerned, usually that turns out to be, "Now that we've gotten what we wanted done, we had a look, and it would be faster to remake the game than change it to be multiplayer.". I think that's occurred with 2 games for me now.

Would that be Subnautica? :)

I too could not think of anything more fun that stripping down spaceships together with a friend in a chill co-op session.

also just imagine the pit crew like efficiencies you could reach with a team, i genuinely think this could be an E-Sport.

This game would massively improve the game, get peeps like me to drag in their friends. Think about games like power wash sim
